Miscellaneous

- Part of the aluminum is absorbed and leads to an increase in the concentrations of aluminum in the blood and an increase in aluminum excretion over the kidneys.
- The aluminum values remain below the toxic area and normalize in 3-4 days after the medicine is taken.
- A small part of the magnesium is recorded. The magnesium concentration in the blood usually remains unchanged by excretion through the kidneys.
- With limited kidney function and long-term intake of high quantities, a magnesium surplus up to magnesium poisoning and aluminum storage can occur, especially in the nerve and bone fabric.
- The aluminum values should be checked regularly with long -term use and do not exceed 40g/l. This applies in particular with existing reduced kidney function.
- In the case of long -lasting or/and at more frequent intervals recurring complaints, a serious disease such as a stomach ulcer or malice should be excluded.
- In the case of gastric or small intestine ulcers, an examination for a certain pathogen (helicobacter pylori) should be carried out in order to carry out a corresponding treatment in the positive case.
